DB/Z Movie Singles JPN Audio vs Double Features/Movie Packs.etc
It seems the old single disc releases of the OG DB films sans Blood Rubies given the licensing mess surrounding that back in the day (until the rights reverted to FUNimation in 2009) and Z movies that were released here from the late '90s with Pioneer's releases of Z movies 1-3, and in house in the ...

Re: Why so much hate towards Toei Animation
What's wild was that it even extended to the subs of the 90s Dr.Slump series back when that was on Tubi for the Dragon Ball crossover. Like, rendering Shen Long as Shenron? Okay, sure, that's a transliteration and how it's pronounced by the characters in the Japanese version, so it's not technicall...

Re: Why so much hate towards Toei Animation
), Toei wants all of their merchandise to feature Funimation's adaptations of names. And while that's okay for something like "Broly" or "Kakarot," it's baffling for things like "Master Roshi" and "Tien." What's wild was that it even extended to the subs of t...

Re: Were there hard feelings between Linda Young and Funimation after she was recast?
Linda Young voiced Baba in Kai and Super after being replaced as Freeza. So, I don't think there were hard feelings. These things happen. Funimation also tried to keep Linda Young as Freeza for Kai, she actually played him in episode 1. Her style of performance didn't fit the way Freeza was portray...

Re: AB Video to release OG Dragon Ball on Blu-Ray
1) Now that I have access to the original broadcast audio for DB/DBZ/DBGT, I can't imagine why anyone would wanna go back to the Dragon Box audio. Though I'd imagine that once AB Video reaches episode #079, they will probably have to use the Dragon Box audio in some spots due to joining in progress...

Re: Rock The Dragon Intro Spoilers, Questions, and Thoughts
I just find it funny how RtD featured those clips from version 3 of Head Cha-La, and how someone watching the syndi broadcast back in 1996/97 without prior knowledge of the original Japanese version (granted that kind of material in any wide form was far and few between, given how primitive the Inte...

Re: New Dragon Ball Z Blu-Rays From Crunchyroll Coming August 1st
Honestly, for the most part when i watch dubbed DBZ i just go with Kai. I know it's not a perfect dub much like how it isn't a perfect product in of itself from a technical and production aspect (That's mostly on Toei's part of course) but between the original Z dub and Remastered and the former i'l...

Re: After 16 Years...Orange Bricks Going OOP
Well, this at least confirms the FUNi branded versions with the circa 2007 "brick" digipack casing will seemingly no longer be available as in print. Of course CR could repackage at some point like what happened with GT not too long ago, or even re author the discs with updated masters. Gu...

Re: After 16 Years...Orange Bricks Going OOP
The UK editions are also showing low stock on Amazon . That could be another sign, or it could not mean what we think. Kai went out of print a while ago when the Z Blu-Rays were being released, but then it started being listed again. The same could happen again with the Z DVDs. If I had to guess, C...

Yes, you read that correctly. It seems that after just over 16 years (Wow, seriously it came out that long ago) since the controversial lightning rod of a DBZ release known as the "Orange Bricks" first hit store shelves, and apparently all nine of the FUNImation branded versions of the rel...

Re: Goku Staying Dead Was Perfect
Honestly, this feels like Toriyama was trying to move on from Goku and he'd felt like he'd taken him as far as he could go and then tried to continue on with Gohan now as the MC after Goku decided to stay dead in the Next World at the end of the Cell arc. Only to realize that oops, he turned out to ...

Re: Would you prefer replacing the VAs or having AI voices of them?
Recasting the voices. I'd rather have a flawed, but sincere new take on a character than a perfect, soulless recreation of the voice as-is. Alden Ehrenreich didn't sound and feel EXACTLY like Harrison Ford's Han Solo but he did his best to do the character justice while also making it his own. My g...

True, and even if the Bob Hoskins/John Leguizamo/Dennis Hopper Mario film still isn't a great movie (and also doesn't really work as an adaptation of SMB) in of itself at least it has that cult following to it's name despite being a box office flop back in 1993. DB Evolution doesn't even have such a...

Re: Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?
Episode #40 was amazing, I loved everything about it (Piccolo's death is just... *cries*). It works as an ending too. But I'm glad we've had got 24 more episodes, even if the Super #17's Arc (except his design, it's sick, I love it) was mediocre. I do wonder if they had the Goku Jr. special as a po...

Re: Has there been official word on exactly why GT ended?
Originally GT had the greenlight for 40 episodes, but it was pretty much a given more episodes would be ordered. The second order was for 24 episodes, but I don't recall the reason why it was no more than that, and why that point was to be the original end of the Dragon Ball series. I'd guess it wa...
